Fall in anime demand is simply a factor accompanying the decrease of the Japanese youth. It's a shrinking demographic and they're the targeted consumers.
The industry can save itself by attempting to branch out into wider mass appeal, but it could be risky. However, most anime have very little mass appeal. Shows like Suzumiya Haruhi, Ouran High School, and Lucky Star are all primarily parodies of anime, manga, and Japanese life and culture. Many animes are just not easy to get into for newcomer
This discussion could evolve in multiple ways but I'd say it's a bit more complicated than that. Not all anime are aimed at Japanese youth. Most are but there is certainly an increasing number of series that are adult oriented unfortunately because of how cartoons are seen outside of Japan by and large none of the adults will actually watch said series. Also, niche titles as you mentioned which are nods to otaku need to stop being made if anyone wants money in the future.
